got a horse off the race track(hes been off almost two years) he is 6 now and a Tb.and he use 2 have a great pattern(i started him and broke him 2 a bit) i am 15…..he can fly and he loves to turn…..he slides around 1st and 3rd barrel…but 2nd he scotches and then when hes comming out like jumps right….
recently purchased a 13 yr TB mare. She was originally on the track, then had a few babies, and has been worked on barrels for the last 4 years. He works the barrels great, but when I’m at home just straight riding her or trail riding she doesn’t want to walk. When I want her to walk, she wants to trot, and when I want her to trot,
I have a 4 year old thoroughbred mare off the track and I have started
her on barrels. I’ve done all the slowwork with her backing up, etc. the
first time we walk or trot through the pattern she is fine, but the next
times she just gets hotter and hotter and wanting to run.
I just bought a 5 year old gelding of the track. He is softer in the mouth than most horses of the track but still needs a little extra to teach him to stop a little easier. What do you suggest? Any information would be helpful. Thank You, Mickie Murray
I have a horse that is 10 yrs old and I would like to get her started on barrels, do you think she is to old to train. I have had several people tell me that. She is very nice to ride and learns quick. Who do you think would be the best trainer around this area (Dallas / Ft. Worth).
Hi, my name is Randi. I have an APHA gelding that is 2 turning 3 next May. I have a horse show in September and I was wondering if it was too early to take my horse and walk/trot the barrels. If this is to early would you be able to tell me when I should start training him. Thanks so much for your time.
I have a 20 year old gelding that made a lifestyle change from western pleasure and trail to barrels about 2 and 1/2 years ago. He has really started coming on and inhaling the barrels. Here recently, especially in arenas with solid concrete walls he has started slamming on the brakes about two to three strides in front of the second barrel.
We recently acquired a mare that will turn 7 this May. Bloodlines are: top Howie Bars which is Three Bars grandson. Susie Star Jr which goes back Leo. Bottom is That Shecky Deal X Shecky Greene(TB). Liberty Space X Time and Space. This mare has had limited work on Barrels, is extremely quick and athletic.
I have just bought a new 15 month old colt. He hasn’t been gelded yet, but he will be within the next two months. He looks older than he is because he’s 14’3 hands tall Is it too early to start slow working him–riding him?
Dear Martha,
I have a 6 coming 7 year old APHA gelding that loves to run. The former owners of this horse tried wp but could not get him to slow down enough for their taste in the canter area.
I have never rode a mare with a colt before and am not sure where to begin. I live in the country and have miles and miles of open country to ride in. I cannot tell you both enough how much I have learned attending your clinic’s so the old saying you can’t teach an old dog new tricks does not apply.
I HAVE A 5YR OLD ARABIAN GELDING, HE LEARNS FAST. MY QUESTION IS, WOULD THIS BE A GOOD HORSE FOR BARREL RACING, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH BARREL HORSES, I NEED TO KNOW THE DISTANCE FROM BARREL TO BARREL, AND FROM THE STARTING POINT TO THE FIRST BARREL,
I have a 4 years old mare. I have your book and really enjoyed it. I have been riding horses for over 10 years. I have never done barrels and really would like to do barrels on my 4 years old mare.
I have a 5 year old Appaloosa. We got her when she was 4 years old and had to break her ourselves. Would she be a good barrel horse and if so how do I start teaching her?
ok i have a 9 yrs old quarter horse and i was wondering if she was too old to run barrels? she learns quick and is in great condition? im just wondering if she is too old too do it and don’t want to risk hurting her!
